CASH REGISTER AND INDICATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 469,545, dated February23, 1892.

Application filed January 16, 1892. Serial No. 418,252. (No model.)

To coZZ whom it may concern;

Be it known that I, lIUGO COOK, a citizen of the United States, residingat Dayton, in the county of Montgomery and State of Ohio, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Cash Registers and Indicators, ofwhich the following is a description, reference being had to theaccompanying drawings, forming part of this specification.

My invention does not relate to the form or arrangement or details ofconstruction of the various parts composing such machines, but to a newmode of operation and a new mechanical movement applicable thereto, aswill be hereinafter set forth, and specifically pointcd out in theclaims.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side elevation, with thecasing in central section, of one form of cash register and indicatorembodying my invention; Fig. 2, a plan view of a horizontal section onthe line 2 2 of Fig. 1, with a section of the top of the casingremaining to show the reading-opening; and Figs. 3, 4t, 5, (3, and 7,horizontal sectional views of different constructions, showing variousmodifications of my invention to be hereinafter described in detail.

The same letters of reference are used to indicate identical parts inall the figures.

The foundation of my invention consists in a driving device whichrevolves in one direction only, combined with another independently-revoluble part which also revolves in one direction only, withmeans for connecting the two to cause the driver to carry the other partwith it and means for disconnecting them at different points to causethe driver to release the other part and move on alone, the result beingthat while the driver is given a uniform movement at each operation ofthe machine the other revoluble part will be moved by it a greaterorlessdistance, depending upon the points of connection and disconnection ofthe two. Now the revoluble part to which I refer may be either aregisteringwheel or wheel for driving a register, an indicatoror Wheelfor driving an indicator, or it may not be a wheel at all, but simply adevice for connecting the driver to the indicator or registering-wheelor for transmitting the movements of the driver to some other movablepart, or may itself constitute the indicator, all as will be hereinafterexplained.

In the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2, A is a revoluble shaft j ournaled in the top and bottom of the casing 13 and having secured to it ahandle O. Fast upon this shaft, within the casing, is a disk D, a topplan View of which is shown in dotted linesin Fi 2. This disk turns withthe shaft A and handle O and constitutes what I term the driver. Its twohalves are of unequal diameters, so that shoulders D D are formed on itsopposite sides, both facing in the same direction. The shoulder D servesno purpose; but the shoulderD forms an operative part of the driver, aswill be hereinafter explained. At the base of the shoulder D a notch Dis cut in the periphery of the disk.

Next above the driver D, Fig. 1, is a bar E, extending diametricallyacross the machine and having its opposite ends E and E beveled onsubstantially parallel lines. This bar is mounted at its middle on theshaft A by an elongated slot, through which the shaft passes, which slotadmits of a longitudinal reciprocating movement of the bar, as well asits revoluble movement on the shaft A.

Upon the under side of the bar E, at diametrically-opposite sides of thedisk D, are two lugs F and F, which co-operate with the shoulder D andnotch D in the disk D in the manner to be described. Also formed orsecured upon the under side of the bar E, near its opposite ends, aretwo beveled or inclined lugs or cams G and G, the planes of Whoseoperating-faces intersect the planes of the beveled ends of the bar.These lugs co-operate with a fixed pin or cam 11, projecting up wardfrom the bottom of the casing, Fig. 1. The beveled ends of the bar Eco-operate with a series of movable stops, cams, or keys H, mounted inthe top of the casing. These keys are not shown in Fig. 1, since in thatview the near half of the casing in which they are mounted is removed;but their position is shown in the plan view in Fig. 2. They are mountedin guides and arranged to be pushed in and moved out in the usualmanner. WVhen in their outer position, their lower ends are above thehorizontal plane of the bar E; but when any one of them is pushed in itslower IOC end projects through such plane, as will be readilyunderstood.

Next above the bar E, Fig. 1, is a large wheel I, loosely mounted on theshaft A and constituting under the construction shown in Figs. 1 and 2the indicator. It has two series of indicating-numbers arrangednear itsperiphery, each series occupying one-third of the circle in which theyare located.- Next above the wheel I, Fig. 1, and separated from it inthis instance by a collar on the shaft A is a notched wheel J, whichconstitutes the registering-wheel or drivinggear therefor. Upon theupper side of the-bar E are two lugs K and K, which project up throughslots in the wheel I on the'opposite sides of the wheel J and co-operatewith the notches in the latter. -It results'from this that, while thebar Ezis free to reciprocate diametrically of the wheel I,the tworevolve together. A readingop'ening'L in the top of the casing permitsthe exposure of the indicating-numbers on the wheel I.

The keysH, beginning with the one'onthe right in Fig. 2, represent,successively,'1, 2, 3,

&c., up to 9. In the position'of the parts shown in Fig. 2 the beveledend E of'the bar E'is arrested at the'second key, and thenumher 2 on thewheel I is exposed at the reading-opening L in indication of the lastoperation of the machine.

A full operation of the machine consists in pushing in one of the keys Hso thatits lower end intersects the plane of the bar E and thengivingthehandle-O one complete revolution.

The action of the various parts under this operation will be as follows:As the driver D moves forward with the handle 0 and shaft A itsxshoulderD will engage the lug F on the underside of the bar E andwill pick upthe bar and the wheel'I (which moves with the bar) and carry themforward with it. When the driver D has made one-half of a revolution andthe shoulder D has been brought to a position diametrically oppositethat in which it is shown in Fig. 2, the zero "onthe wheel I at awillhave been brought under the' reading-opening L and will stand exposed toView. At this point the inclined lug G upon the underside of the bar E(at the upper left-hand end of the bar inthe position of the parts shownin Fig. 2) will ride over the outer side of the fixed pin 1-1 at theright-hand'side of the machine and force'the bar E to the right. Thiswill draw the lug F into the notch D at the base of the'shoulder D andwill also draw the lug K into one of the notches in'the wheel J andthereby lock the driver and wheel I to the wheel J. From this pointforward all three will move together until the end E of the bar Estrikes the lower end of that key H which has been pushed in,

whereupon as the beveled end of the bar rides shoulder D and also tocarry the lug K out of the notch in' the wheel J, so that the driver isdisengaged from everything and moves on to normal position alone, whilethe bar D and registerin g and indicator wheel come to rest with thenumber on the latter which corresponds to the operated key exposed atthe readingopening.

It will be noticed that the lugs F and F fit closely against theperiphery of the driver, so that the bar E is held from anyreciprocating movement, except when one of said lugs is in or oppositethe notch D at the base of the It'results from this that when the end ofthe bar strikes the key which has been pressedinand is thereby forcedtoward the opposite side of the machine the'lug F on the end of the baradjacent to the key is moved up against the near edge of the driver Dinto the position of the lug F in Fig. 2. The lug F reaches thisposition just before the beveled-end of the bar quite clears the key,and as the engagement of the lug with the periphery of the driverprevents'any further movement of the bar in the direction which itscontact with the key has forced it the bar is positively arrested by thekey.

At the next operation of the machine'when the shoulder D of the driverengages thelug the bar is-free to move forward, because the notch D isbroughtopposite the lug at the same instant that the shoulder engagesit, s'o'that as the driver bears against the bar to carry it forwardthe'lug can enter the notch far enough to permit theend of the bar toclear'the key. This would be the operation if the samekeyweresuccessively operated or allowed'to remain in. In machines ofthis'character,-however, the keys are generally so combined-withresetting-springs and detent plates or-catches that when one key ispressed in any otherkey which has been previously pressed in anddetained will be released and thrown out to normal position. If,therefore, a different key is pressed in at the next operation'of themachine, the one already in the 2-key, for instance, will be releasedand thrown outward, so that, so

far asthiskey is concerned, the bar Ewould be perfectly free tomoveforward when the shoulder D engaged its lug even in the absence ofthe notch D but if the newly-open ated key should happen to'be one ofhigher value than the one last operated it would stand in the path ofthe bar E, and'the latter would become locked upon it but for the notchD ,which wilhpermit the bar 'E to be moved away from the newly-operatedkey as its end rides over the key.

While it is more convenient to have a separate key H for each amount tobe indicated and registered, it will be understood that the general modeof operation of the machine would be the same if there were simply nineholes and a single movable pin, which could be inserted in one holeoranother, as desired. Such a pin might be carried on the outer end ofan arm hung to the shaft A and arranged to swing back and forth over therow of holes, as will be readily understood.

In the construction thus far described the sole purpose of thelugs K andK stationary pin H, and beveled lugs G and G is to co-opcrate with thenotched wheel J, so that in the absence of such wheel all those partsmight be dispensed with. So far as the operation of the indicator wheelis concerned the only parts necessary are the driver, the bar D,provided with the lugs F and F, (or equivalents therefor,) and the keysII.

From the construction thus far described it will be seen that the mainpurpose of making the driver D in the form of a disk is to lock the barE from reciprocatingmovement, except when permitted by the notch D andthat the principal operative part of the driver is simply the shoulder DIn Fig. 3, therefore, I have illustrated a driver M, consisting simplyof an arm fast upon the shaft A and combined with the bar E and keys II,these being the only parts necessary to the operation of an indicator.Under this construction when the driver moves forward its outer end willengage the lug F and pick up the bar E and carry it on around with ituntil the beveled end E of the bar strikes the key which has been pushedin, whereupon the bar will be forced toward the opposite side of themachine and the lug F be carried outward beyond the end of the driver M,thereby disconnecting the driver from the bar, the latter coming to restat the point determined by the operated key and the driver going on tonormal position.

In Fig. 3 I have not shown either an indicator-wheel or aregistering-wheel, but have shown how the bar E may itself be made toconstitute the indicator. As there shown, it is provided upon its upperside, near each end, with a pointer N, arranged to travel over theperiphery of a fixed plate or dial 0, provided with a series ofindicating-numbers. In the drawings the end E of the bar E is shownarrested on the second key and the pointer N at the opposite end of thebar stands over the figure 2 on the dial. At the next operation of themachine if the 5-key be pressed in the end E of the bar E willbecaughton the fifth key and the pointer N on the end E of the bar willcome to rest over the figure 5 on the dial, as will be readilyunderstood. It desired, a second series of numbers might be placed onthe plate 0 diametrically opposite those shown, so that the pointers N Nwould simultaneously point to corresponding figures in the two oppositeseries of numbers.

In Fig. 4: I have shown a driver similar in form to that in Fig. 3combined with the bar E and registeringwvheel J. Instead of anindicator-wheel, such as I, or a fixed dial, such as O, I have hereshown simply a gear-wheel P, from which may be driven an indicator ofany suitable form and arrangement. Under this construction when thedriver M moves forward its outer end engages the lug F on the bar E andpicks up the bar and carries it and the gear P on around with it, thewheel J remaining stationary. Just as the driver completes one-half ofits revolution and reaches a position diametrically opposite that shownin Fig. 4E and the indicator driven by the gear P has been brought tozero the beveled lug G on the under side of the bar E rides over theouter side of the fixed pin II and forces the bar E to the right, andthereby draws the lug K into one of the notches in the wheel J. Fromthis point forward the registeringwheel is carried with the bar E anddriver until the beveled end E of the bar E engages the operated key,whereupon the bar E is forced toward the opposite side of the machineand the lug F carried beyond the end of the driver and the lug K movedout of the notch in the wheel, so that the bar and wheels P and J cometo rest, while the driver is released and moves on to normal positionalone.

In building machines for the market I prefer to connect the gear P by asuitable speed increasing train of gears with an indicatorwheel providedwith only one series of numbers, so that the figures may be made largerthan where two series of numbers are employed.

In Fig. 5 I have shown another embodiment of my invention involving thesame general combination and mode of operation under a somewhatdifferent construction and arrange ment of the parts. In this case thedriver consists of a radial arm Q, fast on the central shaft A andcarrying in a guideway upon its upper side a sliding latch bar or plateB. This plate is provided at its inner end with a tooth S, whichcooperates with a notched wheel T, loosely mounted on the shaft A. Thiswheel is the registering-wheel or the driving-gear therefor. The outerend of the plate R is beveled and co-operates with a fixed cam U at theright-hand side of the machine. Upon the upper side of the plate R, nearits outer end, is a lug V, having its inner face beveled or inclined toco-operate with the series of keys II, of which there are nineteen shownin this instance, representing multiples of five from 5 to 95.

A full operation of the machine consists in pushing in one of the keys Hto bring its lower end into the horizontal plane of the lug N on the baror plate R and then giving the shaft A a complete revolution by means ofthe operating-handle. (Not shown.) IVhen the driver Q, has movedone-half of a revolution, the outer beveled end of the plate R engagesthe fixed cam U, and as it rides over said cam the plate R is forcedinward and its tooth S engaged with a notch in the wheel T. This couplesthe driver to the registeringwheel, and they move forward together fromthis point until the lug V on the plate R engages the lower end of thekey which has been pressed in. As the lug rides over the outer side ofthe key, the plate R is forced outward and its tooth withdrawn from theIIO notch in the wheel T, thereby uncoupling the driver and wheel,whereupon the latter comes der that'the firsthalf of its revolution maybe utilized in turning the indicator to zero, wherean indicator isemployed, as will be presently explained, yet so far as the regis-.

tering-wheel'alone is concerned the cam U might be located at a pointdiametrically opposite that which it occupies in Fig. 5, so'that itwould force the tooth of the latch-plate :B into engagement with thewheel T when the driver comes to normal position instead of at the endof the first half of its revolution. In such case the driver would carrythe wheel forward with it from the beginning of its movement untildisconnected from it'by the operated key and would be again connectedwithit at the completion of itswr'evolution, as-

willlbe readily understood. Under such an arrangement there could beenough keys to completely fill the circle in which theyare located,excepting the one place opposite the cam U, or, instead, the series ofkeys shown co'uldbe located on the opposite side of the machine, so thatthey would co-operate with the latch during the first half of therevolution of the driver, while it'would travel free of any keys duringthe second half of its revolution.

In Fig.6 I have shown how an indicatorwheel may be operated with adriver and latch-plate such as shown in Fig. 5. In Fig. (5 a wheel W,similar to the wheel T in Fig.5, is loosely mounted'on the shaft A abovethe wheel T, the two being separated by a collar on the shaft A; Thewheel WV has fast upon its upper side the large indicating-wheel X,bearing upon its face, nearits periphery, two series ofindicating-numbers, each representing multiples of five from 5 to'95 andsepa rated by zero or blank spaces at diametricallyopposite points onthe wheel. These indicatin g-numbers are adapted to beeX posed to viewsingly at a reading-opening in-the top of the casing, (indicated by thedotted lines at Y.) Upon the under side of the wheel X, upon oppositesides of its'center, are two lugs Z and Z which co-operate with a lug Zupon the upper surface ofthe latch-plate R. At the; left-hand side ofthe machine, diametricallyj opposite the fixed cam U, is a second fixed;cam or pin A, also co-operating with the bev eled outer end of the plateB. When the driver Q is in its normal position of rest, as shown in Fig.6, the outer end of the plate R bears against the cam A and the plate isheld in such position that the lug Z upon the under side of thewheel Xstands in the path of travel of the lug Z on the plate R.

The 'operation'of the parts is as follows: As the driver moves forwardat the beginning of the operation-the lug Z onthe'p'late R-engages thelug Z on wheel X and picks up opening until the zero at b is broughtunder it.

At this point in the operation thedriver will have completed one-halfofa revolution and the outer beveled end of the plate-R willengage thefixed cam U and the plate will be forced inward and its toot-hS loc-engaged with one of the notches *in'the wheel W and with a coincidentnotch in the registering wheel T immediately below it. (N otshown inFigati.) Asthe driver moves on-in the second half of its revolution theindicator-wheel X, and the registering-wheel T as well, will be carriedwith it until the operated key is reached.

This key having been pressed in, its lower end will stand-in the path oftravel of the lug V on the plate R, and as this lug ridesover the outerside of thekey-the plate It will heforced outward and its tooth Sdisengaged fromthe wheels T and which will thereupon cometo 'rest' withthe number on the indicator-wheel X corresponding to the operated'keyexposed at the reading-opening Y. This outward movement of the plate Rwill'have carried the lug Z outward beyond the lug Z on the wheel X, sothat the lugZ will nowst-andout side of the circle in which the two lugsZ and Z are located; but as the driver comes to normal position theouter beveled end of the plate R will engage the fixed cam Aand theplate will be moved slightly inwardto bring the lug Zinto line with thelugs'Zand Z ready to engage thelatter at the-next forward-movement ofthe driver.

In Fig. 7"I have shown still another con- 'struction in whichtheindicator-wheel isoperated in'a similarmanner to thatinFigs. 1 to 4.The driver consistsof an armB, fast on the shaft A. The indicator-wheelC' is loosely mounted on this shaft. A-bar J, provided at its middlewith an elongated slot, through which the shaft A passes, is capable ofreciprocating diametrically of the indicator-wheel, but turns with it,as does the bar E in Figs. 1 to 4. Upon the upper 'faceot' the bar J aretwo lugs L and Liwhich cooperate with the-endof the driver B. At

the opposite ends of the bar J are two lugs M and M having beveled innerfaces to cooperate with the lower-ends of the keys H.

The operation of the parts is as follows: As shown in the drawings, thelug M at the righthand end of the bar is caught on the fifth key and thefigure 5 on the wheel 0' is exposed at the reading-opening, (indicatedby too IIO

the dotted lines at d.) As the driver B moves forward from the positionshown in the drawings its outer end engages the lug I/ on the bar J andpicks up said bar and the wheel 0' and carries them around with it, thelug M at the opposite end of the bar slipping over the key upon which ithad been caught. \Vhen the driver completes one-half of a revolution andreaches a position diametrically opposite that occupied by it in Fig.7,the zero on the wheel C at 0 will have been brought under thereading-opening at (Z. As the driver moves on in the second half of itsrevolution the figures following the zero 0 on the wheel C will passsuccessively under the reading-opening until the lug M on the bar Jengages the lower end of the key which has been pressed in. As this lugrides over the outer side of the key the bar J will be forced to theright and the lug L, with which the driver B has been engaged, will becarried outward beyond the end of the driver, which, being thus freedfrom the bar J and wheel 0, will move on to normal position alone, whilethe bar and wheel will be arrested at the operated key, with the numberon the wheel which corresponds to such key exposed at thereading-opening.

It will of course be understood that gearwheels might be substituted forthe indicatorwheels X and O in Figs. 6 and 7 (just as a gear-wheel issubstituted in Fig. i for the indicator-wheels in Figs. 1 and 2) andindicators of any desired form and location be driven from such gears bymeans of suitable interposed gearin It will also be understood that thezeros both upon the indicator-wheels and upon the fixed dial simplyindicate initial positions of the indicator, from which the forwardmovement to the new indication begins, so that where I speak of theindicator being turned to zero I simply mean that it is moved to initialposition. It is not necessary that any zero should be actually placedupon the indicator-wheel or dial.

From the foregoing description it will be seen that in each of theconstructions illustrated, in which an indicator is shown the first halfof the revolution of the driver is utilized to turn the indicator tozero and that from this point forward the driver carries the indicatorwith it until the operated key is reached, whereupon the driver isdisconn eeted from it and moves on to normal position alone, theindicator coming to rest with its number corresponding to the operatedkey exposed to View or with its pointer standing at such number on astationary dial. It will also be seen that where a registering-wheel hasbeen illustrated the driver has been coupled to such wheel at the end ofthe first half of its revolution and has been disconnected from it atvarious points in the second half of its revolution, such points beingdetermined by the operated keys.

In another pending application, Serial No. $08,975,1iled October 17,1891, I have illustrated and described a number of differentconstructions, in all of which a driver revolving in one direction onlyis combined with an indicator or registering wheel, or both, alsorevolving in one direction only, with means for connecting said driverwith and disconnecting it from said wheel or wheels, and have claimedsaid general combination and mode of operation broadly. In some of theconstructions illustrated and described in said application the driverwas disconnected from the indicator and registering wheel at differentpoints in the second half of its revolution, the point being determinedby the operated key, and in another it was coupled to said wheels atdifierent points in the second half of its revolution and disconnectedfrom them at a fixed point for the same purpose. While claiming,broadly, in said application the general combination above referred to,covering both of the modes of operation just described, I also claimedmore specifically the combination and mode of operation under which thedriver was coupled to the indicator and register at different points anddisconnected from them at a fixed point. Inasmuch as I did not and couldnot also specifically claim in that application the combination and modeof operation under which the driver Was disconnected from the indicatoror registering wheel at different points, it is the purpose of mypresent application to cover specifically such combination and mode ofoperation. XVhile,there fore, mypresent application is subordinate tothe broader claims of my aforesaid pending application and my presentclaims are restricted to one of the two defined modes of operationdescribed in said application, yet they are not intended to berestricted to any particular construction and arrangement of the parts,but are designed to cover, broadly, the combination and modes ofoperation which they set forth. cator is used in my claims, it isintended to be broad enough to cover a construction in which a pointermoves over a stationary dial, as in Fig. 3 of the drawings, or in whicha gear-wheel is employed to drive an indicator, as in Fig. t of thedrawings, as well as where an indicator-wheel, such as that in Figs. 1,2, (5, and 7, is employed. So where the word iudicatonwheel is used inmy claims it is intended to be broad enough to include both a wheelhaving the indicating-numbers directly upon it and a wheel employedsimply to drive the indicator. \Vhere the word 'registering-wheel isemployed, it is intended to include a gear-wheel which simply drives theregister, which may be directly or indirectly geared to it, and wherethe word wheel is employed without qualifying description it is intendedto cover both the indicator and registering wheels or driving wheelstherefor.

Having thus fully described in y invention, I claim-- ITO IVhere theterm indi- I means for disconnecting it from the wheel at, differentpoints during the second half of its 1.
